ISBN: 9780198274957 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Governments and their supporters attempt to justify their power by arguing for their moral, rightful, or predestined claim to authority. Political Legitimacy and the State examines the accounts that have been given of legitimacy, proposing that legitimation should be studied as a form of political activity in its own right. Drawing on recent historical examples, Barker argues for a more diversified understanding of the function and character of political legitimacy, suggesting that rulers are often far more concerned about legitimating their power than are those whom they...

Cultivating Political and Public Identity: Why Plumage Matters
ISBN: 9781526114594 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Public and political life can no longer be seen as simply the pursuit of material gain or even as the struggle for enough food and shelter by which to live. The interests people pursue are shaped by the identities which they both inherit and cultivate. In generating identities, everything is important, from clothing to cuisine, from architecture to language, and to understand why and how people associate in groups and communities, and why they compete and conflict with each other, every aspect of identity has to be taken seriously. Whatever secrets may remain in people's minds or souls, who...

From military despots to democratic presidents, rulers spend much time convincing themselves of their right to be in charge.
